# Page Tempates with custom fields

 * Hi, I am trying to create a page template for my site that displays a different
   youtube video at the top of every page. I need the template to have parameters
   that could be filled through its own [little widget on the side of my editor](https://i.imgur.com/BtG6JDv.png)
   or just another page attribute?
 * My template looks something like this:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
       Template Name: Video 
       Template Post Type: post
       */
   
       get_header(); ?>
   
       <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/[YOUTUBE_ID]" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" width="100%" height="450" frameborder="0"></iframe>
   
       <?php
       get_sidebar();
       get_footer();
       ```
   
 * Instead of hard coding a single youtube vid, the “`[YOUTUBE_ID]`” part could 
   be replaced with whatever video id I put in that field. Is this possible?

 * I’d use the plugin Advanced Custom Fields to put that metabox on the side of 
   the page or add it as a custom field above or below the edit page’s content area.

 * With the Advanced Custom Fields plugin, how am I supposed to link those fields
   to my page template? Assuming you mean [this plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/).
   
   I am confused…

 * Yes, that plugin. Read their documentation.
